Thank you - I’ve disconnected the rubber gator which fits over the pipe and diverted that into a bucket for the condensate whilst we have this freezing weather which seems to have sorted things. I’ll leave the draining of the trap to a professional at the next opportunity!

Evening all, Condensate trap on the boiler is full of crap (as per photo) and we are getting EA messages related to the condensate exiting - probably due to freezing but this could also be causing an issue. Manual is fairly unclear on whether boiler will refill the trap automatically as part...

ok will do - thanks again for your help!

The run goes Sink->Dishwasher (spigots into sink waste)->toilet (coming from another run)->sewer It could be the dishwasher siphoning out the water potentially, that being the case I could introduce a...

Just had our house refurbished and got a traditional P trap under the sink. This runs into the waste, which eventually terminates in the soil pipe. Generally pretty ok, but over the last weekend we've been getting the full works of sewer smells through the kitchen sink. First thought is that...

Thanks for the reply. They've not put ply over the insulation, just screwed that black layer onto the insulation. This has all come to light as the final felt was terrible and so I've called in roofers to give advice

Evening all, Just had an extension built with a new flat roof. Effectively it's been done as a warm deck, with OSB/Ply then Reticel insulation, then another layer mechanically fixed, then the felt. https://goo.gl/photos/zA6S2YQeQXMNCTzC8 Issues- 1. No vapour control layer 2. Is this...
